The rest of the report
The Horten Ho229 aircraft departed from runway 04R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 382 feet, which accounted for 4% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 76 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 25 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 25 knots.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began approximately 1 mile northeast of PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered an enroute climb phase, which started overhead SB35 Honolulu and involved ascending from an altitude of 398 feet above sea level to 3,326 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,928 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered an enroute descent phase, which began 3 miles west of East Honolulu and involved descending from an altitude of 3,286 feet above sea level to 326 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,961 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started overhead Waimanalo and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at PHNG Kaneohe Bay MCAS (Marion E. Carl Field) Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 51.0 degrees at an altitude of 1 nautical mile and 310 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 04, which had a length of 7,763 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 82 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 939 feet, and the touchdown speed was 72 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -268 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 24 knots at a direction of 71 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 22 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,487 feet, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 22 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 13 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported.
The Horten Ho 229 aircraft successfully landed on runway 04 at PHNG Kaneohe Bay MCAS (Marion E. Carl Field) Airport, showcasing impressive piloting skills and adherence to standard landing procedures. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 51.0° at 1 nautical mile and 310 feet above ground level (agl), demonstrating a precise and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 82 knots. The touchdown distance of 939 feet was also within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 72 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -268 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting a slight deviation from the ideal rate but still within a safe range.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 82°F and a moderate headwind of 22 knots. The crosswind component was relatively low at 8 knots, which likely contributed to the aircraft's stable and controlled descent. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process.
The total landing distance of 1,487 feet, which accounted for 19% of the runway length, was reasonable considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway length of 7,763 feet provided ample space for the aircraft to come to a stop, and the pilot's ability to maintain control and alignment throughout the landing process was evident in the perfect runway rollout alignment.
Overall, the landing of the Horten Ho 229 aircraft at PHNG Kaneohe Bay MCAS (Marion E. Carl Field) Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing.
